Chevrolet Performance and General Motors are gearing up to make a new debut on Wednesday, teasing the upcoming reveal with a fresh social media post.
The new teaser video is just a few seconds long and shows a gray background with Wednesday’s date (“10.20.21”), followed by the Chevrolet Performance logo. The video includes the sound of a very nasty exhaust note, which revs with some eye-widening aggression.
The exact nature of the upcoming reveal is still under wraps, but could be some sort of new crate engine. Although the teaser clearly includes an element of furious internal combustion, many fans in the comments section are coming out against any sort of electrification that may be introduced later this week.

Back in July, Chevrolet Performance unveiled the new 2022 COPO Camaro, a race-bred turn-key drag racer equipped with a massive 572 cubic-inch Big Block V8 engine. Alternatively, the 2022 COPO Camaro is also available with a supercharged 350 cubic-inch V8, or naturally aspirated 427 cubic-inch V8. All three engines pair with a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission.
Further highlights of the 2022 COPO Camaro include a standard carbon-fiber hood, wheelie bars, trunk-mounted weight box, and parachute.
The Chevrolet Performance catalog currently includes a wide range of products, with enthusiasts and builders offered engines, transmissions, engine components, complete powertrains and drivetrains, suspension pieces, and more – even full rolling chassis. In keeping with General Motors’ pivot to EV power, Chevrolet Performance has previously announced that it is working towards development of new performance-inspired electrification solutions as well. For example, Chevrolet Performance previously unveiled the eCOPO Camaro, a concept racing machine generating 700 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque via a new electric crate motor concept, bringing all the classic elements of Chevrolet Performance forward for an exciting new application. That concept was extended with the Chevy E-10 concept, which outfits a classic 1962 C-10 pickup with a new all-electric powertrain.
Rest assured we’ll be there to cover this week’s reveal the moment it happens, so stay tuned. In the meantime, subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevrolet Performance news, Chevrolet news and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Sounds like a big block?
Or maybe a 6.6L Hi-Po motor?
There were rumors of a 8ish liter, but a Hi-Po one? 😳
Ooohhh! A crate LT8… or L8T with a more aggressive cam and high compression heads, and the debut it in the 2022 Denali.
I’m wondering not so much about the engine, but, why your comment garnered at least eleven down-ticks just for asking a question and speculating.
How come mopar can reveal a cool street vehicle , meanwhile GM says nah save the cool stuff for the boomers on huckleberry Finn drag strip
Your post had credibility until you used the overused and stupid “boomer” insult. Seems pretty trollish
What “cool street vehicle” has Dodge revealed lately? The same 25 year old Challenger/Charger twins?
Lol look at the sales figures. That 25 year old car smashes the camaro oh I almost forgot the camaro is getting canceled because nobody wants it 🤣
I’ll admit that the Camaro is kind of boring now and won’t compete with Hellcats or Mustangs on the wow factor. BUT You all don’t seem to understand that the reason nobody is buying the Camaro is because GM decided to pull funding and R&D and no new major upgrades have been made… its not that they’re canceling it because nobody wants it, but the other way around.. GM is moving on to bigger and better things while Dodge is stuck in the past… if we want to compare numbers then let’s compare the sales number of GM and the numbers of Fiat Chrysler….. but anyone with a brain knows that doesn’t end well for Fiat Chrysler. Do they have a mid engine supercar? NO. Do they have an all electric (or N/A) supertruck with 1000 hp? NO. Do they have a Luxury Suv with a 38 inch screen and REAL luxury? NO. All Fiat Chrysler has is the Cummins engine and that clunky, inefficient Hemi to keep them alive. Quit picking fights you can’t win…
Lol how can you say quit picking fights you can’t win and then go in to some big thing about a manufactures entire lineup? They were talking about the camaro and challenger/charger but you decided you wanted to talk about some 38 inch screen a 1000hp truck which is not production yet and a bunch of other BS. Did you think before you wrote any of that or are you just a manic person who can’t help it? I mean sorta hard to say quit picking fights you can’t win when you already lost the second you talked about a bunch of other stuff lol.
Get in the “Ring”, 7:16.04
Those 25 year old twins must be doing something right. I mean look who is getting canceled cough camaro cough and who’s not.
Speaking of “doing something right” do they do right left right any good? I mean, is stoplight to stoplight the only thing the do “right”. Can an 800HP Chal/Charg run with a 650HP Camaro around any race coarse?
I agree on the so called low selling Camaro. Odds are the lower powered Camaro would win in a twisting turn race course every time. Not bad for a car on its way out.
Sales figures buddy sales figures the bottom dollar is what matters. Does the camaro sell well yes or no I don’t care about any excuse you have it’s a yes or no question?
Are there any cars left that don’t have a Hellcat option?
The Jeep Renegade maybe?
Yes. The 25-year old platform that sells and sells and sells and sells. New is NOT always better. The Camaro proves that every day with ever-diminishing sales figures even before the chip fiasco.
This sounds like a 572 on a dyno, first under very light load, and then free revving. Whatever it is I think it has a mechanical roller cam as I hear valve train noise.
On the noise:
Yup. That’s what it sounds like to me too!
They are going to reveal another recall
Chevroletperfomance is the best
At recalls
Quite sure it’s going to be a silent electric mill.
Gm going to surprise us with something nice hearing that engine sounds like a big block chev with big horsepower capability we shall have to wait and see what the General is up to!
new ZO-6 5.5 flat crank corvette engine
You mean Z06? Nope, this is not that engine. Z06 engine sounds totally different.
On the plane:
Yup, I totally agree!
THEY’RE GOING ELECTRIC……MAYBE A FOUR DOOR PERFORMANCE SUV TYPE CAMARO LIKE FORD’S MACH e. !!! THEY’RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON ELECTRIC CARS TO DO ANYTHING ELSE…..
Not so sure about that, the upcoming Corvette variants look pretty exciting, and the CT4, and CT5 V Blackwing, and the Upcoming Escalade V will be exciting as well. The next GM T1 pickups due in 2025 (2026 Model year) will have some cool hybrid combinations.
It would be really nice if GM would make a COPO like the first one was, a COPO that you could drive on the street!!
Sounds like a BIG Block for a new Silverado SS. ??
MAYBE CHRISTMAS MIGHT COME EARLY?!
They are announcing a twin-turbo performance package for the 1.6 litre Equinox engine, tri-turbo (one for each cylinder) for the Trailblazer, and one for the Buick Encore GX as well.
/sarcasm tag for the humor-impaired
when the camaro goes away what is chevy going to use in NASCAR
I read today that the performance division is coming out with a 1000 hp crate motor.
